Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners decompose a group 10 bottle tops, e.g. 6 and 4 or 5 plus 5. Teacher Scaffold learners to understand the terms Decomposing and composing numbers. Composing means putting numbers together to make a whole and Decomposing means breaking down numbers into their sub-parts.
Learners also use dot cards to decompose numbers (0-10), Learners look at a dot card (e.g. with 5 dots) and say how many dots they see' If the teacher asks, how many dots do you see?
The child says, 'I see 3 and 2 dots'
*
Have learners draw a line to join or circle the 3 dots and 2 dots separately e.g. Learners repeat activity with different number of dots
5 2 and 3 4 and 1
*
Give learners cards with different number of dots e.g. 5, 6, 9, etc. and in pairs let them play the game "Pick and circle" (cut out cards with different number of dots. Write two figures under each circled dots into which the dots should be decomposed. Have learners decompose the dots in different forms and talk about their work e.g. 6 (2 and 4, 3 and 3, 5 and 1), 7(2 and 5, 3 and 4, 6 and 1), etc.

e.g. 5 (3 and 2, 4 and 2)
